Probably He Knew Better.

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
A Hagans correspondent of the
Post says: II thought we were 60
ing to have such good times when
Cleveland was elected President"
He then wants to know why cattle
are so low now. This correspondent
is republican, because no demo-
crat would write such stuff All
democrats know that a President
has nothing to do with making good
or bad times. They also know that
it is supply and demand that fixes
the prices of all commodities. Cat
tie are low because they are plenty.
Coffee is high because it is scarce.
Wheat is low because we have an
abundance of it. Horses are high
because there is a greater demand
than supply. Some one has called
my attention to the fact that horses
are higher than ever known before
in this country. Taking good
basis, j. J. Wharton has just sold
his two grays for four hundred dol
lars cash.

A Cav LOthariO jagged.

Some time ago colored boy nam
ed Berger resided here. He was a
nice fellow and a lion among the col
ored bellies. He paid attention to
Rachael Warwick, respectable girl
who came here from Preston county.
1t seems that Rachael loved not
wisely but too well. When the sit
uation became known to James he
skipped out" and went to Wheel
ing, where he secured employment
in hotel. Everything was going
smoothly and James no doubt
thought he was clear of the girl he
had betrayed. But things are not
always what they seem, and a few
days ago L. V. Keck, who had been
employed by the girls friends,
swooped down ON James and had
him arrested. Being unable to give
the required bond he was brought
here and lodged in Jail, where he
will languish until October court
and have plenty of time to ponder
over the uncertainty of what an or
binary girl is capable of doing.

The famous college fraternity, the

the last week in August. Mr.. Jo-
seph Moreland, of this place, who is
an Alumnus of Washington College,
was elected at the last meeting to
preside over the coming convention.
The Rain6oD, the official publica-
tion of the order in speaking of the
convention, says:
We are glad to announce that the
meetings of the Convention will be
presided over by Hon. Joseph More
land, one of those stalwarts who
rocked the cradle Of Deltaism.
Though removed from the centre OF
fraternity life, Bro. Moreland has
always shown an active and mater
ial interest in the affairs of Delta
Tau. Perhaps his persuasive elo-
quence will convince the Fraternity
that the decision ON the revival OF
the University of West Virginia
Chapter should be reconsidered and

70 the Editor of the NV Doa

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
GRANVILLE, Aug. PLEASE allow
me space in your paper to say that
there is no truth in the report that
was started on the eve of the festival
that it was gotten up by me to pay
my brothers subscription. The
festival was gotten up to make
money to pay the balance of debt
beyond the subscriptions that were
available. My brothers subscrip-
ton is good and will be paid The
report to the contrary was started
maliciously. The books and papers
are in my hands and all are at liber-
ty to examine them at any time.

The Black Bottle,

There is nothing new to be said in
reference to the West Virginia Rail
road this week. The work is being
pushed as it has been from the be
ginning, and the prospect is good
for tracklaying to be commenced
soon. Some official changes have
recently been made that are as yet
of little interest to the public. A
few of the Hungarians employed
upon the upper end of the work have
quit and gone back to the Councils
vile region since the settlement of
the strike there.

What the People Talk About!

In conversation with prominent
business yesterday we were gratified
to hear him say: II have great
faith in the future of Morgantown.
l believe the old town is going TO
grow. / didn't used to think so.
but the New DOMINION has convinc-
ed me that it is so. / have cast my
lot with her and / intend to do
what ! can to help the BOOM"
*.*
"The sulphur spring few miles
up the line of the Black Bottle is
the finest one / ever saw. If nice
hotel were built there it would be-
come a famous summer resort. The
water is better than that of the
springs in the old State" This was
the remark of a gentleman who is
visiting here, and who is close OBJ
server and a Judge of those matters.
*.*
"Say, / wish you would inquire
through your paper where the keys
to the shed that holds the carts and
water buckets belonging to the town
are"
Cali right, what do you want to
know that for" inquired the re-
porter?"
"Well, it might be important for
some one to know provided a big fire
would break out suddenly" said the
citizen.
Doesn't anyone know where they
are?" inquired the reporter?'
mo sir; at least the proper par
ties do not, and l think they ought
to be hunted up"
***
"Pll tell you what would be q
good idea," said a citizen to our re
porter last evening.
Lets have the good idea"
at is to have street commits
sioner appointed by the council,
either one of their own members OF
some other suitable man whose bus
mess it should be to see that the
streets are kept in good order-both
cleaned and repaired"
"But that would cost money"
"Cost money; of course it would
cost money. But a few hundred
dollars judiciously expended would
keep every street in town in good re-
pair Suppose you suggest it in
your paper"
"All right. Good evening"
